PHILIPPINE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

SECOND DIVISION

[G.R. No. 107723. July 24, 1997.]

EMS MANPOWER & PLACEMENT SERVICES, Petitioner, v. NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS COMMISSION and LUISA G. MANUEL, Respondents.

Manuel T. Collado for Petitioner.

Erligh B. Barbaquias for Private Respondent.

SYNOPSIS


Luisa G. Manuel was hired as a domestic helper in Hong Kong by Deborah Li Siu Yee. Her contract was for two years, but stayed for only two months because she was dismissed and repatriated to the Philippines after she made repeated demands for her rights under the employment contract.

Luisa filed a complaint with the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration for illegal dismissal against Yee and illegal exaction against petitioner EMS Manpower. The POEA Administrator dismissed the complaint for lack of merit.

On appeal, the NLRC reversed the decision of the POEA Administrator, finding no clear evidence to support the POEA’s finding that Luisa was dismissed for a just cause.

The lone issue is whether Luisa Manuel was dismissed for a just cause. Petitioner EMS argued that Yee was justified in pre-terminating Luisa’s employment because Luisa allegedly hit her employer’s child, as evidenced by a photocopy of a telex allegedly transmitted by Luisa herself. This action supposedly constituted serious misconduct under Article 282 of the Labor Code and also a violation of the employment contract.

The Supreme Court declared that Luisa was unjustly dismissed from her employment. As correctly ruled by the NLRC, the telex could hardly be recognized as sufficient evidence of Luisa’s purported misconduct. It was a single document totally uncorroborated and easily fabricated to suit one’s personal interest and purpose.

The NLRC decision is affirmed.


SYLLABUS


1. LABOR AND SOCIAL LEGISLATION; EMPLOYMENT; DISMISSAL ON THE GROUND OF MISCONDUCT; TELEX OF WHAT OCCURRED IS INSUFFICIENT. — EMS justified pre-terminating Luisa’s employment due to the fact that the latter apparently hit her employer’s child, as evidenced by a photocopy of a telex allegedly transmitted by the latter herself. The telex could hardly be recognized as sufficient, let alone substantial evidence of Luisa’s purported misconduct. It was a single document, totally uncorroborated and easily concocted or fabricated to suit one’s personal interest and purpose. This Court is convinced that Luisa was dismissed from her employment without any valid or just cause, in contravention of her security of tenure, as guaranteed by the Constitution and the Labor Code, as amended. Under Article XIII, Section 3 of the Charter," (t)he State shall afford full protection to labor, local and overseas," and all workers "shall be entitled to security of tenure." In basically the same tenor, the Labor Code provides in Article 279 that" (i)n cases of regular employment, the employer shall not terminate the services of an employee except for a just cause or when authorized by this Title (on termination of employment).’’

2. ID.; ID.; ILLEGAL DISMISSAL; COMPLIANCE WITH EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT, NOT SUFFICIENT. — There was illegal dismissal in the case at bar although Yee adequately complied with the employment contract. Said contract is not in conformity with our laws inasmuch as it failed to stipulate the "just causes for the termination of the contract or of the service of the workers," as mandated by Section 14(e), Rule V, Book I of the Omnibus Rules Implementing the Labor Code.


D E C I S I O N


ROMERO, J.:


This petition for certiorari with prayer for the issuance of a writ of preliminary injunction and/or a temporary restraining order seeks the nullification of the decision of public respondent National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) dated November 29, 1991, awarding private respondent her salary for the unexpired portion of her employment contract and attorney’s fees, as well as its resolution of October 28, 1992, denying her motion for reconsideration of said decision. cd

Private respondent Luisa G. Manuel was hired as a domestic helper in Hong Kong by Deborah Li Siu Yee on April 13, 1989, for a period of two years from the time of her arrival. Under her employment contract, 1 secured through the efforts of petitioner placement agency (EMS), she would receive HK$2,500.00 per month during the term of her contract. Luisa worked for her Chinese employer in Hong Kong from August 2, 1989, until October 1, 1989, when she was dismissed and repatriated to the Philippines after she made repeated demands for her weekly rest day, of which she was denied from the start of her service, in violation of Clause 6(a) of the employment contract. 2 She also complained that she was not allowed to meet or see fellow Filipinos. By the time she left, she had only received a separation pay of HK$2,500.00 and her return flight ticket.

On October 23, 1989, Luisa filed a complaint before the Adjudication Department of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) for illegal dismissal and illegal exaction against Yee, EMS and its surety, Paramount Insurance Corporation. In a decision dated February 18, 1991, 3 POEA Administrator Jose N. Sarmiento dismissed the complaint for lack of merit. The only reasons he advanced were that Luisa was given her separation pay in lieu of notice of her termination in compliance with Clause 12(a) 4 of the employment contract, and Yee actually paid her repatriation expenses as provided in Clause 12(e) 5 of said contract and as required by POEA Rules and Regulations. Thus, he concluded that under the circumstances, respondent (Yee) has complied with the law and with complainant’s contract of employment and her consequential repatriation cannot be termed illegal. In this regard, complainant cannot lay claim over the salaries for the unexpired portion of her contract nor can this Office award the same."cralaw virtua1aw library

On appeal, the NLRC reversed and set aside POEA Administrator Sarmiento’s decision after finding no evidence clear and convincing enough to support the POEA’s finding that Luisa was "not illegally dismissed," and after concluding that there was no just cause for her dismissal. Hence, on November 29, 1991, it rendered its assailed decision, 6 the dispositive portion of which reads as follows:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph

"WHEREFORE, premises considered, the DECISION appealed from is reversed and set aside, and another one is hereby rendered ordering respondent EMS Manpower and Placement Services to pay complainant the peso equivalent at the time of actual payment of the following:chanrob1es virtual 1aw library

1. FIFTY-FIVE THOUSAND HONG KONG DOLLARS (HK$55,000.00) as her salaries for the unexpired portion of her contract;

2. Five (5%) per centum of the total award, as and by way of attorney’s fees.

The claims for moral and exemplary damages are hereby dismissed for insufficiency of evidence.

SO ORDERED."cralaw virtua1aw library

Petitioner’s motion for reconsideration having been denied in the resolution of October 26, 1992, the instant petition was filed.

The lone issue for resolution is whether Luisa Manuel was illegally dismissed or if her termination was for a just and valid cause.

We see no reason to depart from the NLRC’s decision. Not only is it supported by the facts and the law, but there is also no showing that it was rendered with grave abuse of discretion. The assailed judgment must be affirmed and the petition, consequently, dismissed.chanrobles

EMS argues that Yee was justified in pre-terminating Luisa’s employment due to the fact that the latter apparently hit her employer’s child, as evidenced by a photocopy of a telex 7 allegedly transmitted by the latter herself. This action supposedly constituted "serious misconduct under Article 282 of the Labor Code, as amended, 8 and "misconduct" under Clause 12(b-ii) 9 of the employment contract. Even assuming arguendo that Luisa’s act does not fall within the ambit of said Clause 12(b-ii), her termination would still be valid in accordance with Clause 12(a). 10

These contentions are not persuasive. As correctly ruled by the NLRC, the telex could hardly be recognized as sufficient, let alone substantial evidence of Luisa’s purported misconduct. It was a single document, totally uncorroborated and easily concocted or fabricated to suit one’s personal interest and purpose. The best supporting evidence would have been a statement from the child’s teacher who allegedly witnessed the incident, but none was presented. In the same manner, the affidavit 11 of a certain Nestor M. Palomar, to the effect that he used to meet fellow domestic helper Luisa at the Center Square Garden in August 1989, thereby debunking the latter’s claims that Yee prevented her from congregating with other Filipinos, is at best hearsay evidence because Palomar was not presented to testify at the POEA hearings, even though he was available.

This Court is convinced that Luisa was dismissed from her employment without any valid cause, in contravention of her security of tenure, as guaranteed by the Constitution and the Labor Code, as amended. Under Article XIII, Section 3 of the Charter," (t)he State shall afford full protection to labor, local and overseas," and all workers "shall be entitled to security to tenure." In basically the same tenor, the Labor Code provides in Article 279 that" (i)n cases of regular employment, the employer shall not terminate the services of an employee except for a just cause or when authorized by this Title (on termination of employment)."cralaw virtua1aw library

Finally, contrary to the claim of EMS that there was no illegal dismissal in the case at bar because Yee adequately complied with the employment contract by paying Luisa a one-month separation pay in lieu of notice and shouldering her repatriation expenses, suffice it to say that said contract is not in conformity with our laws inasmuch as it failed to stipulate the "just causes for the termination of the contract or of the service of the workers," as mandated by Section 14(e), Rule V, Book I of the Omnibus Rules Implementing the Labor Code.

WHEREFORE, in view of the foregoing, the instant petition is DISMISSED. The assailed decision of November 29, 1991 and resolution of October 28, 1992, of the National Labor Relations Commission are hereby AFFIRMED in toto. Costs against petitioner.

SO ORDERED.
